IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Annabelle Gunn
There passed away in the Prince County Hospital on September 6th, 1947, Mrs. Annabelle Gunn, widow of the late John Gunn of Clifton, New London, in her ninety-second year. The late Mrs. Gunn was born in Clifton, and most of her long life was spent there, with the exception of the last twenty-four years when she made her home with her youngest son in Wollaston, Mass. Wishing to revisit her old home, she returned in June and thoroughly enjoyed meeting and conversing with old friends and neighbors, as she was in possession of all her faculties until the end, but her physical condition becoming much more serious, on the arrival of her son and his wife, she was removed to the hospital where she received every care and attention.
During World War I her son Ray was a prisoner overseas for over three years, and the anxiety over his fate, followed by the sudden death of her husband, cast a shadow over her life, but her optimistic temperament, and high Christian character enabled her to endure, while her genial personality endeared her to all with whom she came in contact.
The funeral was held from New London Presbyterian Church, where in the absence of the pastor, the funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. I. Green, a lifelong friend of the family, and a large choir from the Presbyterian and United Churches sang the appropriate hymns, All The Way My Savior Leads Me, and Abide With Me, while a duet, The Old Rugged Cross, was feelingly rendered by Andrew Johnson and Ernest Dunning of Long River.
The Pall bearers were John McLeod, Angus Green, H. P. Found, Cameron McGregor, Stirling Kay and J. L. Lockhart.
Of a family of five sons there are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother, Dan in New York; John in Manitoba; Ray in Ottawa and Fenton in Wollaston, Mass., who accompanied by his son drove home in time for the funeral.
Blessed are they who die in the Lord for their works do follow them.
--The Charlottetown (PEI) Guardian, Saturday, September 20, 1947
*Annabelle lived in a house across the street from the birthplace of Lucy Maud Montgomery and said she assisted in the birth of the famous author on November 30, 1874.
